Future of ac-stan ? #63
Description
Activity
‘company-stan’ is the current completion tool.
ac-stanas far as I know has never been on MELPA. I am not an activeauto-completeuser so I cannot really maintain it in a meaningful way.I did try to bring it to MELPA, but I didn't manage to fix some issues. If you can address these issues in a PR to this repo. We could try to bring it MELPA again.
melpa/melpa#6448But please be aware
auto-completeitself is unmaintained: https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete#looking-for-new-maintainerThanks for a prompt answer !
‘company-stan’
Why ?
My "muscle memory" is well-tuned to
auto-complete(which I use for other modes, such assage-shell-mode).Do you plan to maintain (even minimally)
ac-stan, or deprecate it ?FWIW, the current version of
ac-stan(cloned about 1 hour ago) needs a small patch :charpent@zen-book-flip:~/Dev/stan-mode$ git diff diff --git a/ac-stan/ac-stan.el b/ac-stan/ac-stan.el index bcccf32..f4b7c2c 100644 --- a/ac-stan/ac-stan.el +++ b/ac-stan/ac-stan.el @@ -58,6 +58,8 @@ ac-source-yasnippet ac-source-dictionary))) +(defalias 'stan-ac-mode-setup 'ac-stan-ac-mode-setup "A handy alias...") + (add-to-list 'ac-modes 'stan-mode) (provide 'ac-stan)I'll look into
company modeand see if I can adapt.Thanks again for your answer !
I forgot to mention above, my
company-modeconfigurations are here. I think I set some of the key bindings to emulateauto-complete.https://github.com/kaz-yos/emacs/blob/master/init.d/500_auto-completion-related.el#L131
ac-stanis not (no longer ?) available on MELPAThe examples available in the README treat
ac-stanas a "second-class citizen` (disabled by default).Do you plan to maintain an auto-complete feature for
stan-modein the future ?If not, what alternatives do you recommend (and why...) ?
